In a scratched listing of harbor vessels several ships and masters appear, including a schooner 116 tons under Lieutenant Fis and a boat linked to William Fitzsimmons. The fragment references various vessels, tonnages, masters, and port agents, but the legible items indicate a busy harbor with multiple ships and personnel.

Other ships named include a Cape bound craft of 315 Lm and 460 tons, with masters Toone Dre Ropal and Pred Beoth. End mentions Adelaide and Port Phillip forthcoming sailing, with entries of daily watches and Marine Plant references.
Fragmentary OCR lists various market items and prices with typos and odd spellings. Mentions eels, eggs, bushels, loaves, milk and produce terms with numeric values and old monetary remarks. Content is garbled but centers on commodity prices and trading terms.

The text shows heated questions about statements and a warviler in government custody. It references Ayuth and Mr Waterhoure in a discussion of concealment, honesty, and avoidance of subterfuge, with hints of a gunpowder plot at Kensington and related rumours.
